  "content": "<p>Folks-</p>\n<p>I am very impressed at how much we all are learning from each other with this post-competition discussion!  I am also excited by how much participation we had, given that this problem is harder than the last competition. Personally, I am having trouble keeping up because Georgia Tech's classes have just started, but I plan to point my students to this discussion so that they can adapt fingerspelling recognition for more games like Popsign (previous competition). I am excited by how much these competitions can encourage progress in the field of SLR and plan to share more with you (new resources from the academic side, new problems, opportunities) as I get myself caught up.</p>",
